Re: An Early Ford Truck Post... Let's see them.
Here's my latest addition... I'm back up to 3 40 pkps that I can drive. A man has got to have backups... I keep telling my wife. BTW, we're starting her kitchen remodel job.
I bought this one in York, PA. Seller had it 20 yrs; I contacted the previous owner who had it 31 yrs and had the 53 Merc engine built that's in it today. I'm still chasing the history. I think there was one other owner before we get back to the guy that built the truck and had it pinstriped around 1957.
Offenhauser heads and 4 bbl manifold w/390 Holly; complete with Weber carb tuning plate. Mallory distributor, too. Stock 3 spd w/open drive to 1965 Mustang rearend w/2.79 ratio... cruizes at 70-75 MPH according to the seller.
It still has the original windshield (both sides) and back glass that were manufactured in Nov of 1939. Can you believe the SAME windshield?!?!
I'm having a ball with it. Gets lots of attention.
Happy Al
